Full Boehm, of course, is the 20-key/7-ring fully tricked-out orchestral option with low Eb (as on bass clarinets -- yes, you get an extra low note on the horn FREE!), left pinky trill key for Ab/Eb, articulated C#/G# operable by either left pinky or RH index, LH 1/3 trill fingering for Eb/Bb...you name it, she's got it.

Lagniappe: I'll throw in a good '30s vintage Selmer "table B*" mouthpiece for the two bills.

Has it been pinned or is it in need of servicing?

No pins. The cracks are tight enough they haven't been needed.

The crack between the 2 toneholes is a very typical thing for clarinets with the C#/G# hole on the lower joint, as this one has. It's hard to tell whether it affects play until you get the horn adjusted. This horn could use a good adjustment session, as it hasn't been played lately.

A friend has one in A and I love that horn.

I am in the process of sending in my main horn for a servicing, and I have a killer backup - SML - already so I better pass on this one. :(

(Doesn't 5 Bb clarinets = justifiable homicide? I thought I heard that somewhere - OH YEAH, from my wife)

You been reading Paul Prudhomme's cookbooks again? :twisted:

Withdrawn from sale – had some weather changes here and the tonehole crack is affecting lower clarion register. I am going to have this and the bell crack filled in (quoted at $50) and will be offering the horn at $250 when it's back from the shop.
